I AM A PARENT WITH A CHILD IN THE INFANT ROOM AND 3 YR OLD. ALL TEACHERS HERE ARE LOVING AND CARING. I WAS VERY HESITANT TO LEAVE MY BABY BEING SO SMALL. THE DIRECTOR AND TEACHER IN THAT ROOM ARE AWESOME. I COULD NOT ASK FOR ANY BETTER. PRE-SCHOOL TEACHERS GREAT ALSO. I PICKED THE BEST SCHOOL IN TOWN FOR SURE. OTHER PEOPLE NEED 2 QUIT CAPPING ON THE OWNER SHE IS NOT IN A CLASSROOM!!!!!!!!!

I cannot say enough great things about Happy Sunshine Kids.

We had a tough time finding a good daycare for my son. We checked out Happy Sunshine Kids when I was pregnant and I absolutely loved it, but it was pricey. There were cheaper options and I just couldn't wrap my head around spending so much on daycare. So - we went with an in-home daycare that was less expensive. My son did ok there but we eventually moved him to another larger "chain" preschool. It was not right for us. Actually, it was pretty awful. My son was constantly sick and I got a call to pick him up every single day for various reasons that did not warrant a phone call.

After freaking out for a few days not knowing what to do, I went with my gut and called "this amazing place I visited while I was pregnant" - Happy Sunshine Kids. We decided to bite the bullet and pay the extra money and boy are we GLAD we did! My son is currently in the infant room but will move to room 2 next month. He was been at HSK 7 months and he is SO happy there. His teachers, Ms Susie & Ms Jennifer are absolutely wonderful. For the first time, I feel like his teachers appreciate my son's vibrant personality and they respect the little person that he is. They have taught him so much (he always has new words or new songs!) and I always have felt like they communicate very well with me. I know that if I have a question or concern, I can go to them and they will be honest with me. The school is very organized and well managed. My son has many food allergies and they have been very careful with him to make sure he stays safe. Actually, his teacher is very familiar with allergies, and has given us some great pointers to boot.

I was a bit concerned at one point because kids were leaving and teachers were being let go. I expressed my concerns and I feel like they were addressed and taken care of. The school is very much alive & kicking. I am 100% confident in the abilities of the teachers at HSK. My family is SO grateful to have found them.

Currently, our son is in the Infant / Toddler Room and we love it. He has two fabulous teachers, Miss Jennifer and Miss Susie.

He has been enrolled in the school for 5 months and MIss Susie has always been his director.Some of the other teachers step in periodically to cover breaks and I appreciate that they recognize that teachers need to be able to step out of the room every once in a while. Susie is caring, knowledable, and effective. She is open and honest and I appreciate that in a teacher. I actually try to pick up my son early so I can spend the additional time talking with her. We are lucky to have her as our teacher.

Miss Jennifer is a ray of sunshine. She knows exactly what to do from the moment my son walks in the door. Sometimes it can be stressful leaving your child at daycare, especially if your child is crying while you are trying to leave. Jennifer is a pro at diverting my son's attention as I am leaving or she provides the right amount of comfort if he is having a rough start. I can't express how much we appreciate Susie and Jennifer's talents.

At the end of the day, it's all about the teachers and the kids and we think HSK is fabulous.

We have had 3 children at HSK for several years and we are very happy with the care and curriculum our children receive. We have had two children get into a Top Pasadena Private school and that would not have been possible without great teachers. We also have our baby there and HSK has one of the best infant rooms in the city, we know because we looked around like any good parent. We feel 100% secure leaving our children there, not to mention the facility is great; a newer building with secure perimeters keep the kids safe inside. As an HR professional I can tell you there is always going to be turn over when the best needs of the clients are not met, in this case where the children’s needs are not in synch with those of the facility. It's unfortunate but it happens and should not be reason to skip considering HSK when looking for a F/T academic preschool. Safe, Clean & Academic.
